Welcome to the world of multi-frequency FM communication Thank you for choosing the WallPilot, a fully automatic, wireless frequency synchronizer especially developed for use with multi-frequency MicroLink receivers. The WallPilot ensures that FM users entering a room are automatically switched to the right channel. The process is fully automatic and completely independent of the channel previously in use by the FM receiver.

Choosing the right location Outside of WallPilot range Correct Within WallPilot range Incorrect The choice of location depends on local conditions. Please consider the following: • The WallPilot range is continuously adjustable from zero to two meters. • The WallPilot synchronization signal reaches any FM receiver within the set range. For this reason, FM users who are already in the room should not remain permanently within the reception range of the WallPilot signal (see figure).
GA 029-0171-02 GB Englisch The WallPilot is designed for mounting to a wall. Possible locations for the unit are: • Inside the room, adjacent to the entrance door The WallPilot then covers the room entry zone, which is the ideal location if there is sufficient space. However, classroom desks and other working areas must be out of range of the WallPilot. • In a vacant area within the room The floor can be marked to show where people should walk past in order to receive the WallPilot synchronization signal.
Preparing for installation • Determine the approximate location according to the previous criteria. • Put the WallPilot into operation (see next section) and either hold it against the wall or rest it on a chair (standing up, not lying flat). • Turn the range adjustment control (see page 11) fully clockwise (max.) and set the range switch to ‘F1’ (short range). • Do practical tests with hearing instruments and FM receivers.
GA 029-0171-02 GB Englisch • If the range is too small: Set the range switch to ‘F2’ (medium range) and again turn the rotary range control fully clockwise. • Keep testing until the optimum range is adjusted. Once the range is optimized, test to ensure that the WallPilot signal does not reach FM users at undesired locations (e.g. in the corridor outside, sitting at desks, en route to the blackboard, etc.). In case of problems, select a different location for the WallPilot.
Mounting to the wall ~5 cm (feet) ~1.1 m (feet) • • • • Drill fixation holes using the supplied template as a guide Insert the screw anchors Secure the WallPilot to the wall using the supplied fixation screws Plug the power cord into the socket marked on the main unit. The WallPilot can operate directly using the power cord, or on rechargeable batteries (for approx. 12 hours) ☞ Mains power is recommended for ease of use.

Selecting the channel As with the Campus S, a pair of channel selection buttons sets the FM channel. Press one of the channel selection buttons for 2 seconds ▲ = selects a higher channel ▼ = selects a lower channel ☞ Ensure that the WallPilot is set to the designated channel for the room. This should correspond to the channel used by the FM transmitter (e.g. the Campus S) operating in the same room.
GA 029-0171-02 GB Englisch Adjusting the range A B Rotary control on the side of the main unit. Range switch F1 = Close range F2 = Medium range F3 = Long range Re-check the range after WallPilot installation and readjust if necessary. A B ☞ It is recommended to check the range regularly.
Key lock The WallPilot has a built-in key lock. Similar to mobile telephones, it avoids unintentionally operating the keys. When activated, the key lock also prevents tampering by children. To lock keys: Press both keys simultaneously for 2 seconds. A « »-symbol appears in the LCD display. To unlock keys: Press the same keys simultaneously for 2 seconds.
GA 029-0171-02 GB Englisch Daily use 1 3 2 3 Putting into operation: 1 Switch on the WallPilot (press the On/Off button for 2 seconds) 2 Check the channel and battery charge state on the LCD 3 Activate the key lock if needed (see page 12 key lock) 13
When FM users enter the room: The multi-frequency FM user’s receivers are set automatically to the channel selected in the WallPilot. Depending on how the multi-frequency MicroLink receivers are programmed, a brief signal in the hearing instrument may indicate the change of channel. Switching off: • Switch off the WallPilot (press the On/Off button for 2 seconds) If the WallPilot is operated with the rechargeable battery, simply plugging in the power cord recharges the battery.
GA 029-0171-02 GB Englisch Important notes 1. The hearing instrument and FM receiver must be switched on before the WallPilot can change the receiver channel. 2. Ensure that the WallPilot is properly fixed and that the power cord is safely secured. 3. Avoid simultaneous use of multiple WallPilots with overlapping transmission ranges. 4. External influences such as interference from computer monitors can reduce the WallPilot’s operating range.
